Life is good; God is great.
How often do you get back to Alexandria?

I live here.

Do you still see/talk to/hang out with any classmates? Who?

Just a few; would like to do this more often.

What are your memories of high school (i.e. secret crush, embarrassing moment, funniest thing you did in high school, favorite high school hang out, favorite teachers)?

I felt like a kid in a candy store. After spending my first 10 school years in rigid, all-boy private schools, we moved to Alexandria in 1968. I took one look at FHHS and determined to transfer in, no matter what it took to get my mom's acquiescence. (I had to threaten to run away, and I would have.) I was wide-eyed at first, and the joy continued.

Biggest thing you would do differently if you went back to your time at high school?

Be more confident. Develop more friendships...especially with girls as I had little social experience with them.

Hey Linda,
Welcome to the association. I think '70 is underrepresented do it's nice to have another classmate join. Hope you will plan on attending our '50th' reunion next July, which was put off 1 yr. It will be a 'milestone' year for us so hopefully attendance will be good.
Take Care,
Ben Withers
